You're Invited....

mmmm, Cake

..to my one year blog party. Hope you like cake. Wow! 365 days of blogging has gone by really really fast. Is it too obvious for me to give something away? Hmmm. Nahhh. Let's do it pals! I made a bunch of fabric cake domes in the spring. Don't ask. It was really fun tinkering till I got a good pattern figured out which required using the pi formula. But back to cake.

Have your cake

I wanna give you this little cake dome. Well, at least one of you! Mmmm, don't eat it! Cover up a pin cushion with it or let your little ones practice birthday parties with it. Somehow one little cake doesn't seem like enough...

And Sew it Too

So how about a 10-layer cake of of rich autumn goodness made from the finest Bohemian and Chocolate Lollipop ingredients?? Sound good? Now you can have your cake and sew one too. Just leave a comment and I will pick a winner at random to announce on Monday morning. I do think that I will employ my husband's statistical computer know-how to arrive at the randomly chosen winner. He's really good at random stuff. My previous method was slightly taxing, yet fun. My current workload doesn't have enough room for that much fun.

How much is that fabric in the window?

I've said it before, but I want to say again how much I appreciate your interest, encouragement and enthusiasm for what I manage to share with you. I am continually inspired by your support and never dreamed how much I would gain from just putting out a few photos and words about my days. Staring down the hallway of the coming year, I'm looking at lots of enticing things hanging on the walls. A few of them need to be straightened and others need some well-thought-out arranging. But there's also this little window in the hallway that will certainly get a new display every few days. Thanks for taking a peek inside my window. I love it here.
with thanks, Anna

  6. Oooo, pick me, pick me! We love pretend food at our house and I need some new chocolate lollipop stash. :) My husband loved the counting crows story by the way. Totally cracked us up, Navigating the beginnings of this, with a newly minted first grader and a pre-K'er, is totally baffling. Your episode reminded me that we need to take it all with a sense of humor!

  141. Hi Anna,
    Congratulations on your anniversary. Hopefully you will have time to keep it going � it is one of my favorites. I am not sure if anyone has mentioned it (I didn�t have time to read all 127 comments before mine) but, there are several sites out there that offer random number generators. Here is one I used. Make sure to select no repeats. I just collected the names from my e-mail and pasted them into Excel and gave each a number, so I didn�t have to count them all. I did have near as many, so this might really help you. Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to share your beautiful family and amazing creations with us.
